Madam,
The issue of delay in salary payment and action of resort to strike by Goa employees is over now.
Law provides punishment to erring employees if any lawful order is not complied. As a business strategy, if Goa operation is not viable, what can you do with office , assets and staff there.The employment terms / service Rules must have a Transfer clause also, please check and issue Transfer letter citing reference of said written clause.But before transferring personnel, you should be carefully doing a strategic planning and then act on transfer.Whether operation at Goa is to be closed for all the time or it is temporary phase ,if your management need some time to make assessment on wait and watch formula for few months. If so, in this situation, your management should not transfer and unnecessary disturb employees and invite Indl. relation problems. If you do so, employees will approach labour court, or tribunal, labour department and suppose dispute is going on then, during pendency of any industrial dispute before court, tribunal, labour conciliation , you can not change service conditions without prior approval from respective authority., where dispute has been pending, That is restriction and takes a route, time as well.
